Ship'n Shore shirtCute little sleeveless vintage number from Ship 'n Shore. Off-white (could be due to age) with red tennis rackets, red and yellow sailboats. Size 36 (I believe this refers to bra size.) Very good. $7.50.

Teaneck HS teeTeaneck High School, Class of 1990. Free to anyone whose name is on the shirt. Just pay for the shipping. And this is the only one we have. "Jerzees. XL. 46. Made in U.S.A." Graphics show cracks, but still in good shape.

Ohrbach's shirtPredominantly brown plaid ladies' shirt from Oh!rbach's (that is exactly what the label says.) Other colours include: navy, ecru and green. "Made in Hong Kong. RN 12418. XL. 65% polyester, 35% cotton." Some discolouration on tags. Ends of boning on collartips are visible on both sides, so we assume they were meant to be that way. Boning appears to have been removed from collar. May have just been the space allowed for the cardboard insert. Anyway, the shirt looks very nice. Any plaid-lover would be happy to have it, we're sure. Exact size unknown, but appears to be a medium / size 8-10. Very good. $7.00.

the coatThis coat is entirely reversible. One side is plaid, the other is a multi-coloured zigzag. Some evidence of minor repair work near hood on plaid side. Otherwise this late 1960s / early 1970 gem is in very good shape and will keep you very toasty. Exact size unknown, but appears to be a medium / size 8-10. $75.00. *
     
please remember: vintage clothing tends to run a bit smaller.
